While you are almost always right, on this one you are not. It is only illegal to feed sandhill cranes and threatened species. The regulations are HERE.
Quote:
In Florida, it is illegal to feed manatees, sandhill cranes, bears, raccoons, foxes, and alligators. Intentionally placing food or garbage, allowing the placement of food or garbage, or offering food or garbage in such a manner that it attracts black bears, foxes, raccoons, or sandhill cranes and thereby creates a public nuisance is prohibited.
Additionally, intentionally feeding species listed as threatened, endangered, or of special concern - including Florida scrub-jays - is prohibited unless authorized by FWC permit

If it were truly illegal to feed any species then all backyard bird feeders would be prohibited
